I'm considering getting one of these and a rack for my Jeep so I can go further into the backcountry without worrying about getting out if my Jeep dies, and just for fun too. I'd guess it would realistically do about 20 miles on an easy trail, maybe carry a spare battery or two.

Electric bikes are super fun, and are definitely a good way to get out in a pinch.

I find regular bikes about as fast. Downhill.

The rescue is just a weak justification for buying a new toy, if I'm being honest...
